I get this notification on lower right corner on Windows 10 from time to time:

Microsoft recommends different browser settings notification

If I click 'Maybe later' button the notification appears again in few days.

I'm not using Edge browser. My search engine in Chrome is set to Google. I suspect that this notification is from Bing Wallpaper app.

Is there a way to disable this notification?

Update: Some users may see the following dialog instead:

microsoft-edge-recommended-browser-settings

  • What setting is it attempting to have you change? Just the default search engine?

  • No idea, I never clicked 'Yes' button.

  • So a few questions, are you actually using Edge, when you see this notification? Have you actually changed the default search from Bing to some other search engine? When you get this notification are you on Bing by chance? If so it’s probably a website notification

  • If it’s NOT a website notification then disabling notifications for Edge might work. If you can edit your question to include some additional information I would appreciate it

Is there a way to disable this notification?

This feature was added with the release of Edge 91.

You can disable this notification by doing the following:

  1. Navigate to edge://flags/#edge-show-feature-recommendations within Microsoft Edge

enter image description here

  1. Set Show feature and workflow recommendations to Disabled instead of Enabled or Default
  2. Restart Microsoft Edge 91.0.864.37

I'm not using Microsoft Edge. My search engine in Chrome is set to Google. I suspect that this notification is from Bing Wallpaper app.

Microsoft Edge is still installed by default on all current versions of Windows 10 and can be used by any application that implements a WebView2 .NET control.

  • Worth pointing out that this flag is an experimental feature and there was likely a bug in its implementation. It was likely only supposed to only display the notification once.

Have you tried to go to "Windows Settings", search for notifications and turn off the notifications from Bing? I know its a very simple solucion and you maybe already tried it.
